Colombia, for the part played 87 minutes in their opening match with 10 men after Carlos Sanchez was shown the second-fastest World Cup red card in history.

It was Yerry Mina who opened the scoring with a superb header in the 40th minute on a handsome cross from James to set the ball rolling for the South Americans, who scored three in the last 45 minutes to seal Poland's fate.

The win for Colombia sees them on three points in Group H, placed third behind Japan and Senegal, who have four points each. "He's played at the top level for many years and he's the Colombians' driving force".

A victory over the Africans in their final first-round match in Samara on Thursday would secure Colombia a spot in the last 16 as they target at least matching their charge to the quarter-finals in Brazil four years ago.

"Our players did their best until the end of the game".

The pressure is now on, not just for Rodriguez, but in the knowledge that Jose Nestor Pekerman's six-and-a-half-year stint - only three other coaches at the World Cup have been in place longer - in charge would have a huge stain should Colombia lose against a Poland side ranked eighth by Federation Internationale de Football Association and also needing a result.
